  2. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

    Vincenty suggested a method of accelerating the convergence in such cases (Rapp, 1993). An example of a failure of the inverse method to converge is (Φ 1, L 1) = (0°, 0°) and (Φ 2, L 2) = (0.5°, 179.7°) for the WGS84 ellipsoid. In an unpublished report, Vincenty (1975b) gave an alternative iterative scheme to handle such cases.

  3. Indirect Fourier transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_Fourier...

    This is an brief outline of the method introduced by Otto Glatter. [2] For simplicity, we use = in the following.. In indirect Fourier transformation, a guess on the largest distance in the particle is given, and an initial distance distribution function () is expressed as a sum of cubic spline functions evenly distributed on the interval (0, ()):

  4. Richard Gorlin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Gorlin

    Working with his engineer father, they developed the Gorlin formula, an indirect method for calculating the orifice area of cardiac valves or congenital heart chamber defects. This formula is used to study the severity of aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve stenosis. [5]

  5. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    If an equation can be put into the form f(x) = x, and a solution x is an attractive fixed point of the function f, then one may begin with a point x 1 in the basin of attraction of x, and let x n+1 = f(x n) for n ≥ 1, and the sequence {x n} n ≥ 1 will converge to the solution x.

  6. Lyapunov stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyapunov_stability

    The first method developed the solution in a series which was then proved convergent within limits. The second method, which is now referred to as the Lyapunov stability criterion or the Direct Method, makes use of a Lyapunov function V(x) which has an analogy to the potential

  7. Tauc plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tauc_plot

    r = 2 for indirect allowed transitions; r = 3 for indirect forbidden transitions; Again, the resulting plot (quite often, incorrectly identified as a Tauc plot) has a distinct linear region that, extrapolated to the abscissa, yields the energy of the optical bandgap of the material. [9]

  8. Runge–Kutta methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge–Kutta_methods

    The stability function of an explicit Runge–Kutta method is a polynomial, so explicit Runge–Kutta methods can never be A-stable. [32] If the method has order p, then the stability function satisfies () = + (+) as . Thus, it is of interest to study quotients of polynomials of given degrees that approximate the exponential function the best.

  9. Proof by contradiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_contradiction

    Proof by infinite descent is a method of proof whereby a smallest object with desired property is shown not to exist as follows: Assume that there is a smallest object with the desired property. Demonstrate that an even smaller object with the desired property exists, thereby deriving a contradiction.
